Synopsis
Last royal heir Asta quests for the "Key to the Kingdom" against rivals to claim Landor's throne.
After the king and his eldest son die, the kingdom of Landor is left without a ruler. Asta, the last surviving member of the royal family, stands in line for the throne. However, before he can claim it, he must fulfill a quest: find the legendary "Key to the Kingdom". Both ancient beasts and a variety of contenders, including a princess, a dimwitted military captain, and a villainous aristocrat, imperil his journey. Someone will find the Key, but will it be Asta?
